Wiki Page: Is there a way to get the date of creation from an index file?

The first record in every variable structure file is a system record called the file header. This is normally 128 bytes in length.  For an index file, eight bytes into the header record is the creation date and time entry. This entry is 14 bytes long and has the format YMMDDHHMMSSCC  This is documented at: http://supportline.microfocus.com/Documentation/books/sx51/rhfile05.htm
